Abstract: | An aspartylglycosylaminase assay based on high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis of the substrate aspartylglucosamine and product aspartate is described. Aspartylglucosamine and aspartate are derivatized with phenylisothiocyanate and resolved by reverse-phase chromatography. The detection limit for the compounds is 2 pmol. The method can be used for analysis of aspartylglycosylaminase activity in crude cell extracts and tissue samples. |
